An 8-year-old girl in Alpena, Michigan, was saved from a teenager who attempted to kidnap her Wednesday when her 13-year-old brother came to the rescue armed with a slingshot, according to the Michigan State Police (MSP).
The girl was hunting for mushrooms in her backyard when a male came out of the woods, grabbed her, and put his hands over her mouth, but the girl’s big brother was there to witness the incident, police said. The girl managed to break away from the potential kidnapper after her brother fired his slingshot at the 17-year-old suspect, hitting him in the head, Newsweek reported.
